It's no secret that the Bengals need pass rush help. Cincinnati needs to add real playmakers to their defense this offseason while they continue to develop the young talent they've brought in over the past few years.

Right now, Fairchild has proven to be the biggest positive building block from the Bengals’ 2025 draft class. Given the team’s history there, it’s a boon, especially now that he’s paired with Amarius Mims. But Knight panning out and earning this type of label too? The Bengals certainly wouldn’t complain.

Facing the seventh-ranked passing game in the NFL, the Cincinnati Bengals’ maligned defense turned in its best performance of the season in a 37-14 victory over the Arizona Cardinals

The Bengals beat the Cardinals in Week 17. Here are the replay and highlights from the game at Paycor Stadium.

The Cincinnati Bengals released their inactive list 90 minutes before kicking off in Week 17 against the Arizona Cardinals. There were no surprises. Tight end Noah Fant and defensive tackle B.J. Hill, both questionable to play on the Bengals' final injury report, would suit up.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is preparing for his first Week 18 start without the possibility of the postseason ahead.

Williams: It's so fun watching Joe Burrow sling it, offensive linemen catch it and Bengals blowout wins. But don't get too caught up in the moment.

The Arizona Cardinals had no answers for the Bengals offense led by Ja'Marr Chase and Chase Brown across Sunday's loss.

The Bengals are currently scheduled to pick 10th in the 2026 NFL Draft. If they win on Sunday, they could drop to 12th overall. If they lose, they could move up to the No. 8 pick.
